..Summer is here, and with it comes many things that make it hard to
get the dogs out for a hunt. For myself, it is a combination of heat and
baby animals everywhere that make most of the time I spend with my dogs
this time of year either playing or training in the back yard. I love the
warm, dry summers, but I yearn for the cool days of fall when I can get
the dogs in the woods and fields to hunt without any of us getting heat
stroke. I also donít want them getting a hold of a fawn or a covey of young
quail or pheasants. We do get the occasional turkey that somehow gets into
the yard before the dogs notice it, and they will tree it in a hurry, which
ads some excitement around here! Dad picked up a roadkill squirrel the
other day and took it home to work with Millie a bit, then I brought it
home and did some drags for Peaches and Willow Enjoy the articles!
